You
Can Dance
This programme of integration through dance was created in 2013 by the Teatro del Lago Foundation with support from the Mustakis Foundation.
2021 PROGRAMME
THE MAGIC OF DANCING WITH OTHERS RETURNS
YOU CAN DANCE 2021 seeks to find a group identity based on collaboration as a collective, focusing on human relationships in a context of artistic creation within and through dance.
This training programme in contemporary dance made possible thanks to the collaboration of the Mustakis Foundation is aimed at young people between 13 and 21 years old from Chile and anywhere else the world. It will be both online and in person* between the months of August and November 2021.
*If the health situation prevents it, the programme will be held entirely online (phases 0 and 1).
“I have performed several times already on the main stage of Teatro del Lago for different audiences. We have also performed elsewhere, extensions at schools and such. I always get excited for each show. I’m quite shy, but on stage I dance and enjoy it. It’s hard to explain”.
